It was the worst mistake I've made. Right now 30 years down the road and I have coronary artery disease. Whilst attempting to giving up smoking, I came across the electric cigarettes and i intend to give it a try. With some luck, it is going to assist me with this annoying habit.

Perhaps you should work on your own spelling before trying to play the illiteracy card. Your views on this plant, its pharmacology, and your sweeping assessments of society only reveal that you are an example of someone who does not "burn" but is still "stoned" in all the wrong ways. Take a trip to the Netherlands and you will find a society which has a higher standard of living than America and not only is literacy slightly higher, but people there speak multiple languages. By the way John, millions there legally smoke ganja including the literati, intelligentsia, and other people of the ilk perhaps you believe yourself to be.

Indian scriptures from thousands of years ago extol the virtues of ganja and there are many proven remedies from it which people have been using in South Asia for millenia. This goes out to the people on both sides of this issue: most of you know NOTHING about this plant. The debate regarding "marijuana" (another case of renaming in Western terms something that already had a name) is largely one which only elucidates why Westerners are so clueless on so many levels. Ganja is non-toxic and non-addicting. Anyone who thinks otherwise should consider the new student loan program Obama is creating because ignorant Americans are THE REASON the economy is a wreck.

People were taking them into bars and gatherings to the consternation of anti-smokers who presumably do not know they are not carcinogenic. They just deliver nicotine to the user, but they have been made to look like cigarettes and they even use stage smoke for effect. I wonder how they would be received if they looked like asthma inhalers. I also wonder if they could be a safe (non-carcinogenic) way for the THC in Marijuana to be taken by pain sufferers.

It is nerve pain which has very little remedy. Decades ago I was able to quit smoking tobacco because of what was happening to my respiratory system. In these discussions generally, there is never any mention of being able to use THC (the active ingredient) without having to smoke Mary Jane. Why is that? I am a chronic pain sufferer.
